The results showed that after 10-day treatment, the effective rate of the group of Epley’s maneuver combined withSai-Er Formula was significantly higher than that of the control group (P = 0.045). And after 10-day, 1-month, 3-month treatment, the improving degree of vertigo integral was better than that of the control group (P < 0.005).
